¶ … employment relationships are likely to occur as the population ages?
Concerns about things like medical care and retirement savings will rise. Also, the flexibility and rigors of handling things that increase more with age including having older kids rather than younger ones or having an empty nest as compared to a household of kids will all change.

Other challenges would include justifying picking candidates for diversity reasons when other qualified candidates exist.
• Describe some of the actions an organization should take to overcome diversity challenges, explaining why those actions would be helpful. Provide examples to support your conclusions.
